NEcKTIE SUPPORT.

Applicationv filed` March 23, 1925. Serial No. 17,530.

, T o @ZZ whom t may concern y Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. TALBOT, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Millbrook, Dutchess County, and State ofV New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie' Supports, of which the following is a specifica-tion.

This invention relates to necktie supports and in particular to a device which may be concealed within the collar tabsV and support the tie or scarf in proper position.

A particular object of the invention is to provide a single piece necktie support which will fit over the head of a collar button and be reta-ined in proper position on the shank of the button.

A further object of the invention is to provide a tie support which will be frictionally held by the collar tabs and one which will engage the tie at its proper place in order to give it the proper effect-necessary to present a pleasing appearance.

A further object of the invention is to provide a tie support which will Vnot accidentally catch in the tie or lingers when the same is being placed in position or handled by the user.

Referring to the drawing wherein I have shown a preferred embodiment'of my invention;

Figure l is a front view of a portion of a collar and shirt the collar having therein the scarf which is supported on the holder shown in dot-ted lines. n

Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Figure l showing the position of the tie holder between the two button-hole tabs o-f the collar.

Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, the scarf being illustrated as untied to show how the holder would appear before it is attached to the scarf, and

Figure 4; is a side View partly in section of the tie holder, the hook end thereof upon which the scarf is impaled being clearly shown.

Referring to dicates a portion of a shirt having at the upper edge thereof the usual bands and 7 held together by the collar-button 8 over which fits the tab end 9 of a collar l0.

The shank of the collar-button y8 carries the tie holder l1 and the outer tab 12 of the collar is placed thereover, so that the tiethe drawing in detail 5 in-v holder 11 is concealed between the tabs 9 and 12 of the collar and held in proper position. c

The tie holder 1ll comprises a vertically disposed flat -oval ringjfportion '13 -having an opening 14 therein which fits over t-he collar button shank and from the lower edge of said portion 13 there extends forwardly in a substantially horizontal position the extension 15. This extension carries at its end the obliquely disposed hook 16, the outer end of which 17 is sharpened on the inside-as at 18 so that it will not hook into the finger orclothing of the user. The tie must be raised slightly and then pressed down upon the hook until the point 18 pierces and holds the necktie material, between the hook and the collar whereby the tie will remain in fixed position, as in Fig. 2, and will not be prematurely displaced.

The hook is held out under the knot 19 in the tie 2O, it being understood that. a wing tie can also be used, though I have shown the usual four-in-hand method of arranging the tie or scarf 20. The eXtension 15 of the holder serves the purpose of compensating for the hollow of the neck and keeps the tie in proper outward natural position, and also from sidewise shifting. 1t will be readily seen that if the hook was formed substantially near the loop portion of the holder, the knot of the tie would be held up against the collar and would not be displayed properly and would give the tie `and collar combination a careless appearance. The extension 15 therefore holds the knot out in proper position and lies close thereto so that it is concealed, while act-ing as a support for the tie. It also prevents sidewise shift-ing of the tie in the collar which is common in silk ties. It also prevents the knot from slipping as is commonly the case in knitted ties.

It will be particularly noted that the sharp edge 18 of the hook is on the inside so that the tie material when forced into the space of the hook will be engaged by the edge 18. When removing it is only necessary to move the holderslightly forward until the hook disengages the knot of the tie.

When the tie is to be knotted the holder may be swung around on the collar button to one side so as not to interfere with the tying of the scarf.

It will be evident that I have provided a neektie supporting feature which will be substantially hidden in use, will be easily adjusted, can be inade up at small oost and may be gold or silver plated to present a neat and attractive appearance.

Having described my invention what I elaini is l. A neoktie support comprising a Hat ring portion, the opening therein being adapted to lit over the shank of a. collar button, a horizontally extended portion orined integrally with the-ring portion, a hook at the end of said extended portion, the hook being sharply pointed on the inside of its inner end whereby it will hold the tie when the saine is pressed thereagainst.

2. A neektie holder comprising a flattened ring portion adapted to fit over a collar button shank kand be held between the button hole tabs of a collar, an integral portion at the lower edge of said ring portion f In testimony whereof I hereunto aiix myl signature.

WILLIAM P. TALBOT.
